Will she do a bit of a hula for dad? (5)
I believe the answer is:
paula
'will she do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a bit of a hula for dad?' is the wordplay.
'a bit of a hula' becomes 'ula' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'dad?' becomes 'pa' (both can mean one's father).
'ula' put after 'pa' is 'PAULA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paula that I've seen before include "-- Radcliffe, English long-distance runner" , "Girl's name" , "- Radcliffe, British distance runner" , "Girl" .)
